DAAD award winner 2024
My name is Diana Paola Ochoa Vásquez, and I’m 23 years old. I was born and raised in Ecuador, and one of my biggest dreams has always been to study abroad. Since 2019, I’ve been living that dream! I started my studies in Biochemistry (B.Sc.) at the MLU and have since decided to stay in Halle to continue my education at the Master’s level. Now, I’m in my final semester of my Master’s in Biochemistry. My experience abroad has been incredibly positive—Halle has truly become my second home. Because of this, I’m passionate about encouraging more international students to come and experience the wonderful opportunity of studying here at the MLU.
